[jQuery] uiTabs - Reference to self during Init.

[jQuery] uiTabs - Reference to self during Init.


I have the following uiTabs initialization code in my $
(document).ready function:
var $tabs = $("#tabarea > ul").tabs(
        { selected: 0
        , disabled:[2]
        , spinner:''
        , cache:true
        , ajaxOptions: { cache: false }
        , load: function(e,ui) {
                handleTabLoad(ui.index,this); // this doesn't = $tabs?
            }
        , select: function(e,ui) {
                handleTabSelect(ui.index);
            }
        , show: function(e,ui) {
                handleTabShow(ui.index);
            }
        });
I've created functions to handle tab loading, selecting, etc. For
example handleTabLoad will to be able to do reference $tabs?
The problem I'm having is that in the handleTabLoad function I need a
reference to the tab area that is being initialized. Is that possible?
